The Millennium Water Alliance (MWA) is pleased to announce the launch of its webpage, focused on carbon financing for safe water, increased water system uptime, and water resource management. This platform provides stakeholders with comprehensive insights into our carbon financing initiatives and ongoing projects, highlighting the critical connection between water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH), and climate action. Central to this launch is the Feasibility and Learning Study, offering an in-depth analysis of carbon financing’s potential and impact in the WASH sector.
“The launch of this webpage marks a significant milestone in our efforts to integrate climate finance with sustainable development for water,” said Keith Wright, Executive Director at MWA. “We believe that climate finance has the potential to incentivize and fund long-term operations and maintenance of the critical infrastructure investments our community makes around the world. We are excited to provide a platform that showcases our ongoing projects and the impactful work being done to address both environmental and WASH challenges.”
